In the Faculty of Exercise and Sport Science biological, physical, social and behavioral sciences are applied to the study of physical activity and sport and their effects on the health,

fitness and quality of life of people of all ages and abilities.

The Faculty Campus is on the east-side of the city of Verona; the teaching and research activities are embedded in an

environment of facilities dedicated to sports which are unique in Italy and include open fields for athletics and team sport such

as soccer, rugby and baseball, as well as two large indoor sport centers with several courts each.

The Faculty is fully engaged in the teaching, research and service missions with flourishing

academic programs and research laboratories.

Exercise physiology labs are equipped with last generation instruments for the study of

human movement and energetics. Labs dedicated to motor control and anthropometry have

been recently added to the growing list of research labs active within the Campus and

operated by a vibrant intellectual community of students, researchers and faculty staff.

The Faculty offers a series of activities and courses involving the population. The programs

are based on scientific research and are inspired by the tradition of the Faculty of Sport

Sciences of Verona which is involved since years in the promotion of Health and Physical

activities on the territory. Furthermore we are proud to say we can provide specific scientific

and training programs to athletes through our: Centre for Applied Research on Rugby and

the Centre for Preparation to Marathon.
